The Doctor and the Millionaire (EDITING)

Chapter Two

" I just finished following up with patients" He sighed 

" Can you believe we're going to be unemployed?" Aaron asked 

" I'd rather not" I mumbled 

" Can you be a good friend and get me something from the vending machine?" I said tossing him a dollar bill 

" FINE! but you owe me" He shouted  

" In your dreams Ropper" I laughed rolling my eyes 

I resumed paperwork and charts, and just then Julia turned the corner reminding me I needed her to pick the medications for our patient. 

" Julia, Lisa Dorchester in 401 needs acetaminophen and promethazine can you pick that up from the pharmacy and administer the meds?" 

" No problem I was on my way there now" She smiled walking to the pharmacy

" HERE" Aaron shouted 

" Veggie straws really you couldn't get me potato chips?" I whined

" Paybacks a bitch" He laughed 

" While you're laughing your ass off help me with this paperwork," I said throwing him a stack of folders waving him off to answer the phone 

" Brigham and Women's Hospital Emergency Room Dr. Robinson how may I help you?" 

" I'm EMT Carl with twenty-year-old Leeana Jones who was attacked and has a stab wound on the left side of her back more specifically her spine and a stab wound in her lung, the trachea is not midline, the patient is stable but is exhibiting symptoms of a pneumothorax" He described

" Any additional information?" I asked 

" She was also raped in this attack," The EMT says 

" How far out?" I asked

" Less than five minutes," He says 

" ER will be prepared and ready," I said hanging up the phone 

If there was one thing I wasn't supposed to be doing right now it would be admitting a new trauma patient. I was under strict orders to not admit any trauma patients, but the patient was an exception. One that I could relate to. 

" Milan we were under orders not to receive trauma patients!" Aaron exclaimed 

" Aaron I do what I want, and what I want is to give this patient the utmost care especially after being attacked and raped," I said suiting up 

I paged my residents and nurses and all the additional specialties, and while everyone was gearing up at the front of the emergency room doors the chief of the emergency room stormed through the doors clearly angry.

" Who approved this incoming trauma?" The chief fumed 

" I did," I said crossing my arms 

" Under whose orders? because as far as I'm concerned I am the head of this emergency room" He pointed out 

" Dr. Ford this isn't just some other patient this is a victim... a rape victim and we are the number one trauma center and as long as the hospital is still Brigham and Women's Hospital we are the number one trauma center and we are still admitting trauma patients whether it is your order or not" I asserted 

" If you wish to fire me or write me up for being disobedient so be it but I will do so while treating this patient, if you have nothing left to say please do us all a favor and leave" I finished 

With anger and embarrassment, he swiftly retreated to where he came from. Once he was finished I turned my attention back to my team and informed them of our incoming patient.
